That's another thing missing in the EPSON driver...

Where's that "digitaldog" dude?  ;-)

Andrew, tell EPSON it would really make sense to add a spot color 
overlay option for registered spot color printing...  My 10 year old 
ALPS can do it without a problem... No valid reason except crappy driver 
design that these EPSON's shouldn't be able to do it by now..
